Bayonet base for lamp mount

Abstract

Lamp mounts for tubular fluorescent lamps with a screw base are to be configured in a more compact manner for packaging purposes. A bayonet adapter ( 5 ) which can be rotated into a lamp mount ( 1 ) is provided for this purpose. The bayonet adapter ( 5 ) has, for example, an E27-type screw base opposite the bayonet connector ( 9 ). Since the bayonet adapter ( 5 ) can be removed from the lamp mount ( 1 ), a corresponding luminaire can be packaged in a more compact manner.

1. A lamp mount, comprising:
 a power-connection device comprising a bayonet bushing adapted to receive a bayonet connector;  
 a retaining device for bearing an illumination means and for electrical connection with the illumination means, wherein the retaining device is electrically coupled to the power-connection device; and  
 an electrical ballast on a printed circuit board, wherein the electrical ballast and the printed circuit board are electrically coupled to the power-connection device.
